“Medical issues or unemployment [or] anything out of the norm has put that family, that might be a part of the working poor, in a situation where they now have to decide if they are going to pay the rent or provide Christmas for their children,” Maj. Barbara Rich with the Salvation Army explained.

There are still 6,291 people who adopted a family and have not returned their promised gifts.

The recipient families will receive anything from toys to needed items of clothing.
